I feel like everyone has had a movie partially spoiled by a trailer but I also feel like descriptions, movie posters, and even genre tags can be a give away and make a plot twist or scene less impactful.

One movie I vaguely remember watching without any context was the 2021 movie Oxygen. I enjoyed it but I feel like it would have been slightly more predictable if I had looked at the genre tags and that would have effected my enjoyment.

I feel like you need to have a pretty good sense of someone's tastes to make a "trust me"-style recommendation like this.

Glad you liked it and thanks for the tag.

Edit: another one is Source Code (2011) - i don't think it was mentioned in this thread.
